We are looking for a new Mechanism Engineer with a background in Space Robotics engineering and with heritage on mechanism design, development and testing.
Mechanism Engineer Responsibilities:
- Specification of subsystems/equipment technical requirement.
- Design and verification of control systems (Matlab/Simulink environment) based on electric actuators, and sensors.
- Mechanism Design, from the concept definition to the detailed design to be developed by the team.
- Performance and functional testing control systems in real-time (LabView and Simulink Environment) working with the hardware.
- Define and implement the development and verification approach, establish the corresponding documents, i.e. design development & verification plans, test plans, design justification documents, interface control documents, verification control documents etc.
- Production monitoring.
- Support in definition and implementation of the development and verification approach, establish the corresponding documents, i.e., design development & verification plans, test plans, design justification documents, interface control documents, verification control documents, etc.
- Functional and environmental tests of prototypes and flight equipment.
- Participation in proposals for new projects (conceptual definition, preliminary design, preliminary dimensioning, approach to verification campaigns, estimation of costs and necessary resources, etc.).
Mechanism Engineer Requirements:
- Master degree in Aerospace Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering or in a similar discipline.
- At least 4 years of experience in mechanism/mechatronic engineering.
- Knowledge of ECSS standards related to structures and to mechanisms design and verification.
- Recognized experience in developing mechanism products (specification, design, verification).
- Capability to develop simplified mathematical models to justify the design concepts.
- Experience in mechanisms assembly and testing.
- Experience in test planning.
- Background in latching and release mechanisms design.
- Experience in Control system design (Matlab and Simulink).
- Experience in CAD modelling.
- Knowledge of the English language is required.
- Good communication, cooperation and organization skills, willingness to take responsibility.
- Good analytical and system-oriented thinking.
- Awareness for costs and schedule.
